Sabbath is…

● when we care for the seed of eternity planted in the soul

● a day for the sake of life

● not an interlude but the climax of living

● creating a home in the soul to be with the divine

● a chance to mend our tattered lives

● a delight to the soul and body

● a reminder of two Worlds: this one and the world to come

● joy, holiness, and rest

● turning from the results of creation to the mystery of creation

● the day we learned the art of surpassing civilization

● a day to stop worshiping the idols of tech civilization

● a day of detachment from things, instruments, and practical affairs

● a day of attachment to the spirit

● a day to spend no money

● a day to abandon plebeian pursuits and reclaim our authentic state

● a day to remember our belovedness

● a day of praise and not petitions

● it is NOT a day of confession or repentance

● a day to abstain from toil

● a day of peace

● a participation in the spirit that unifies what is below and what is above

● a day of union with the divine

● resting as if all your work is done, resting even from the thought of labor
